ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW:
“Nurses must develop cultural competence to deliver care that meets standards of culturally congruent care…Cultural competence involves knowing yourself and examining your own values, attitudes, beliefs, and prejudices. It entails keeping an open mind and trying to see the world from a different cultural perspective.
“[Nurses must] respect differences among people, recognizing that every group has its strengths and weaknesses…[They must] learn to communicate effectively while being mindful of nonverbal communication such as body movements, use of personal space, and gestures, [and] be resourceful and creative in modifying nursing interventions in culturally competent ways. Consider your nursing actions carefully when interacting with a patient from another culture” (Williams, 2022, p. 193).
Take this opportunity to practice introspection and examine your own beliefs about cultural diversity.
